I've not seen anyone else mention this. I find it fascinating but I don't know any other group of people other than RfM that might also be amused by this.

South Park creator Trey Parker is well versed in Mormonism. Twelve years ago South Park used a fictional beast (ManBearPig) to mock Al Gore. The MBP represented Climate Change and it appears that 12 years ago even Parker and co creator Matt Stone were also somewhat in denial.

In this week's episode of South Park MBP was "resurrected" in something of an apology to Al Gore.

ManBearPig is such a bizarre character, EVEN FOR SOUTH PARK. Where did it come from? Remember it was originally intended as a fictional thing.

In the pre90's Mormon Temple ceremony there was also a beast intended to be fictional. It was the Protestant Minister's conception of Satan. A man with " claws like a bear’s on his hands, horns on his head, and a cloven foot, and that when he speaks he has the roar of a lion!".

Coincidence?

Joseph's description of God and Lucifer as given by the preacher in the old endowment reflectex the non mormon teachings of various though not all Christian churches.

Manbearpig, half man, half bear, half pig is not related

SPOILER ALERT!


If you play Red Dead Redemption 2 you come across a critter reminiscent of manbearpig.

Elisha's she bears could be the source.

Man made climate change is the biggest hoax since Christianity

If you repeat that enough, it will become true.

Really.

Yes, how widespread, insidious, and horrible this hoax is!
I mean, seriously, trying to get us to pollute less, use sustainable resources to generate power, and get us to stop using up finite burnable carbon, and instead use cheaper, sustainable, non-polluting resources? How evil!

And don't forget the horrors of energy independence! What we do if we didn't ship a good chunk of our GDP to the Middle East and Russia?

.....and when all of those things are done, OR NOT, it will still have ZERO net real effect on whatever the climate does.

Exactly. Because there is no evidence that human activity has anything to do with climate.

Nietzsche once observed that "faith means not wanting to know what is true."

Correct. (Sometimes, broken clocks, or even you, are correct, even when its by accident.)

...and once again you can not avoid talking about yourself for more than about 2 seconds ..... as you have slipped back onto your favorite subject again, go ahead, tell everyone again all about your self assessed superlative affinity for empiricism.

I'm not Nietzsche.

WOW! how long did it take you to figure that out ????

...and how long will it take you to figure out that I NEVER said that you were ???

I was talking about Nietzsche. You said I was talking about myself.

I thought it might be helpful to point out that I am not Nietzsche.

But why is it people can only do this by making people like Al Gore rich beyond their dreams with Carbon Credits, a Carbon Market, etc?

I don't think Al Gore made money from carbon credits or carbon markets.

I've never looked into it before, but this seems a reasonable explanation of his fortune.

Human-caused global warming denial is the biggest hoax since christianity.

Jesus wants you for a solar cell, to power him each day.

This is typically good.
